The 20 most beautiful bars in London

George’s Bar at The Gilbert Scott

The already stunning bar at The Gilbert Scott in St Pancras has just been given a makeover to make it even more alluring.

Now called George’s Bar, in a hat tip to the high ceilinged space’s architect, Sir George Gilbert Scott, Michelin-starred chef Marcus Wareing had a hand in creating the cocktails.

Scott was an eminent Victorian architect known for his Gothic Revival style and was chiefly associated with the design of churches and cathedrals.

He also put his hand to the Albert Memorial, for which Queen Victoria knighted him, and the St Pancras Renaissance hotel, where the bar resides.

Another David Collins extravaganza, the brief was to make the bar a more informal space inspired by the grand cafés of Paris and Vienna.

The leather banquettes have changed from beige to racing green, exposed lights have been softened with red lampshades, round tables house tiny lamps, and the entrance has been prettified with indoor trees.
